i forgot my blueberries

s showed me a really cool widget on the iphone called howcast. it tells you how to do pretty much everything. the howcast that i particularly enjoyed was "how to improve your memory" because i constantly feel like a dumbass, partially due to depression, partially to meds, and partially because i didn't know about all these ways you can improve your memory.

here are the materials you will need:

a puzzle game
purple (not white) organic concord grape juice
rosemary or sage
aerobic exercises
catnaps
relaxation techniques
an active social life
blueberries

puzzle games like crosswords, soduku, and word warp keep your brain active. 8 oz of grape juice a day improves memory by 20% (organic grape juice has 40% more anti-oxidents). rosemary or sage stimulates the memory center of the brain. aerobic exercise brings oxygen to the brain and builds new cells in the brain region linked to memory. people who take catnaps retain twice as much a day. relaxation techniques reduce stress (stress activates an enzyme that impairs short term memory). an active social life sharpens concentration and memory. and a handful of blueberries a day contain enough of a chemical that improves memory.

also, memorizing on an empty stomach is best for retaining memory because a hormone that helps memory is highest.

and moving your eyes from side to side for 30 seconds every morning improves memory by ten percent because you're improving the communication between left and right hemispheres.

and how did i remember all of this?? i wrote it down... booyakacha.
